The board of directors of OBX Pride, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity is thrilled to present the 8th Annual Outer Banks Pridefest. The Outer Banks of North Carolina’s LGBTQ pride festival is set for the weekend of Sept. 21, 22, 23. Start making your plans now!

If you attend an event inside a restaurant then there is a cover charge if you do NOT buy a weekend Pride Pass so it is cheaper to buy a Pride Pass to attend all of these events. If you attend all paid events, buying a Pride Pass will save you $25 over the total of individual cover charges. The Outer Banks Pride music festival on Saturday afternoon is FREE as always and will be located at the Soundside Event site on highway 158 in Nags Head. The sunset booze cruise on Friday evening is now just beer and wine and can be a separate charge for $50 or included when purchasing a Pride Pass. No other events are offered separately for purchase through this website but you can pay at the door for any event. All daytime events are family-friendly. Evening events are NOT! Events inside restaurants are age 18 and above only with ID check at the door. Check our event schedule to find out the full band lineup for the Saturday afternoon festival and all the entertainment for the rest of the weekend! Join us on the beach in September and Bring Your Pride & Joy!!
